No deposit poker bonuses

There are many fields in the
online gambling industry but one of the most competitive ones is the field of
the online poker. To get the upper hand in you game you should be aware of
certain strategies, mechanisms and bonuses. Just a few seconds of browsing can
show you many beneficial offers such as free entries to tournaments or various
welcome bonuses to boost your bankroll. Most sites give away different offers
to their loyal players, as well. Here is a short guide to the poker bonuses.

Initial bonus

Initial poker bonus is the most
common offer one can see in the online poker sites. It usually requires a
deposit and the bonus is a certain percent (sometimes even 100% or more) of
your initial deposit up to a certain amount. For example, some sites may offer
100% deposit bonus up to $200. There are also some welcome bonuses, which do
not require you to make a deposit, but the sum of the bonus there is, of
course, lower.

Ongoing offers

The ongoing offers in the world
of the online poker vary from one site to another. Some give away various cash
prizes, free tournament entries, points that can be exchanged for goods, etc.
Those ongoing bonuses usually depend on a loyalty scheme (or a VIP scheme)
where you accumulate points while playing games for real money and those points
are what dictates what bonus offers you will get.

Important information

The bonuses usually cannot be
gotten right away since you have to play poker games to earn them – that is
called clearing your bonus. You will need to earn certain amount of money or
play a certain amount of times with a specified stake, or using the bonus money
to play a specific game until you generate some amount of ‘rake’ (rake is a
small commission which the poker sites gains from every winning pot).

Remember that before choosing
to gain a certain bonus you should carefully read the terms and conditions of
it. There you will find the full details of the offer and exactly what you
should do to clear the bonus and get the money (or whatever other reward there
is).

How to decide whether a poker bonus is right for you?

In order to decide whether to
claim a certain poker bonus or not you should ask yourself some questions. The
first one is whether you can generate the specified amount of rake. The second
one: whether you can do it before the end date of the offer. If you answer ‘no’
to both questions, then the bonus is certainly not for you.

How can you clear the bonus faster?

Well, one of the benefits of
playing poker online is that you can play at several tables at one and that way
you can clear the bonus much faster.

Or opt to play for larger
stakes if you wish to clear the bonus faster and get the reward.

But only do so if that does not impact your win rate too much. It is no good to clear the
bonus but lose more money than the amount you will get from the offer.
